I'm a little confused as I'm shopping for an ASUS FX5600 card. I currently have my eyes on these two.

ASUS V9560/TD GeForceFX5600 128MB DDR /400MHZ 8x AGP
*and*
ASUS V9560 Video Suite GeForceFX5600 128MB DDR /400MHZ 8x AGP

my question is: are these cards infact considered the FX5600ultra rev. 2? I remember reading somewhere that Asus ditched the term 'ultra' when making the FX5600 cards. Am I correct? does the 400mhz RAMDAC speed make these cards 'ultras'?

here's a link to the cards website.

one more thing. are there any 3d performance differences between the regular ASUS card mentioned and the video suite? besides the extra array of 'features'.
tnx.
